Today, I took a deep breath, and ordered the Dewalt DW735X from Home Depot. It will be about a week before I have it in my hands. However, I have a project just waiting for it, so I want to be prepared. I am thinking about modifying an existing stand, or building a new stand for it. However, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with a few dimensions:

  • Foot Print
  • Width with tables extended
  • Distance from bottom to deck

I greatly appreciate the help.

Did you order the stand with it?I didn t ,just got a good deal on the planer and the two extensions/extra set of blades.I should have ordered the stand,it is good quality ,solid . would cost pretty money to build one yourself.

I did not. I recently built a wood stand from 3/4" Ply for my miter saw and table saw. I was thinking of doing the same thing. That might also allow me to build in some DC and longer tables. I was thinking along these lines: http://www.ibuildit.ca/Workshop%20Projects/planer-stand-1.html

However, I appreciate the review of the stand.

Despite the fact that we were above freezing today, it was too bloody cold out there to take exact measurements, so…With the tables folded out, just under 38". Footprint is just under 22" wide and 16" in the feed direction, that's the base, the actual machine cowlings are wider and you need to allow for the crank handle. Bottom to planing bed just under 3".

Sounds like my kind of question in anticipation of getting something in the shop and wanting to be ready to hit the ground running. I can easily tell YOU to slow down and look at it in person in YOUR shop. I've never been able to tell ME to do that!!

I have a feeling that the 24Ă—22 x 18.8 is the box size. Just a guess, mine didn't come with a box. Floor display unit for $325, i was okay with providing my own cardboard!! (and i had to download the manual)

I think you'll like the machine-good luck!!

Earl,

Thank you for the detailed reply.

You are probably right… I should wait and take a look at her. I actually have another stand that it would work perfectly on, but I'd have to swap it in and out. And, it sounds like it is a beast, so that probably wouldn't be much fun.

Thanks again for risking the cold!

I don't think i'd call it a beast at 95 pounds, but it sure doesn't look like it would weigh that much. Much as i use mine, having to swap it to a stand when i need it would drive me nuts. I do have a handful of tools mounted on plywood squares that store on a rack and clamp to my bench when needed, my planer would never be one of those.

Wasn't really that cold, probably 25f. At least 30 degrees warmer than a few days ago!!
